How many feet of 12 gauge wire makes a pound?
It completely depends on the gauge, or diameter of the wire. Some very large wires found in industrial plants can weigh more than a pound per foot, while very fine wire found in small motors can take several hundred feet to make a pound.
How much does pure nickel wire weigh per foot?
Someone would need to know what gauge the wire is to answer that.
How much does 100 feet of 10 gauge copper weigh?
Depends on the thicknes of the wire. About three pounds, according to this site: http://www.rjleahy.com/Store/wire/cwi.htm See second chart on left... 10 ga copper wire is about 33 feet per pound.
How much does 14 gauge insulated copper wire weigh?
0.986 pounds (about 1 pound).[1] Edit: I believe the correct answer is 101.18 feet of 12 gauge cooper wire weights 2 pounds. The American Wire Gauge (AWG) Table indicates 50.59 feet per pound. The second answer is correct.
How many volts will 4 gauge wire handle?
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
Why gauge increase with thickness decrease?
The concept of the gauge originated with pistols, and later shotguns. The gauge described the size of the barrel by the fraction of a pound of a round iron ball that just fits the barrel. For example, a 12 guage shotgun has a barrel that will just fit a round iron ball that is one twelfth of a pound. This measurement stemmed from cannon measurements, which measured the cannon by the size of the cannon ball it fired (such as a 6 pound cannon, or 20 pound cannon). There are different gauges that describe thickness, including the American Wire Gauge that measures the thickness (diameter) of electrical wire, US Steel Wire Gauge for steel wire, Sheet Metal Gauge, etc.
How do you convert gauge to mm?
Assuming this is a firearm question, and you mean gauge of a shotgun barrel, and not wire gauge- There is no direct conversion formula, since gauge refers to the number of round lead balls that fit the bore that would equal a pound in weight- 12 balls that fit a 12 g barrel weigh 1 pound, 16 balls that fit a 16 g weigh a pound, etc. The SMALLER the number, the larger the diameter. However, there ARE industry standard measurements for different gauges- you can look up the standard measurements, or contact me through my message board if you are looking for specific gauge. PS- a .410 shotgun is not a gauge, but an inch measurement.
Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
What is meant by gauges in measuring thickness of plates?
Gauge actually refers to the number of feet of iron wire it takes to weigh a pound....it takes 10 feet of 10 gauge iron wire to make a pound and it takes 30 feet of 30 gauge iron wire to make a pound. at some point in time this got applied to sheet metal and this gauge system works about the same way.....the bigger the number the thinner the sheet metal. Eg: The higher the gauge, the thinner the metal. If I'm not mistaken gauge is measured in millimeters, only backwards. Like in electrical wiring, 14 guage wire is about a 16th inch and 10 guage is almost a 1/4 inch etc. etc. In otherwords, the lower the gauge the thicker it is.
How much does a lb of copper weigh?
It is impossible to give an answer. For instance, a metre of copper wire, or a metre of a copper ingot?
What is the recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire?
The recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire is typically 10 gauge wire.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.
